Bearpaw High Sierra Camp kitchen tent after break
This watercolor is based on a photo I took on a visit to the Bearpaw High Sierra Camp in Sequoia National Park in California during September 2011. It depicts the kitchen tent after breakfast, and before we headed out to explore the area. I’ve painted this view once before, a couple of years ago, and it was interesting to try it again and evaluate my progress and confidence with this challenging medium.

I paint watercolors with a focus on the natural landscapes and distinctive urban settings of the San Francisco Bay Area, Yosemite National Park, and other locations of special importance to me.
Watercolor provides me with a perfect medium for rendering what I’ve envisioned and producing works of a type and size that are easy to share with others.
My intention is to create paintings that, during the process of conceptualization and creation, cause me to think about, and look carefully at, the subject and thereby learn something new about the world. And through that process I aim to create an image that provides the viewer with an experience of interest and a sense of comfort, especially for those with fond and familiar memories of these places.
I have a degree in Fine Arts from Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. Over the last decade I have devoted my attention towards learning the ways of watercolor.
